[MadManWithaBox]

last night i was trying to stop and id gone 3 weeks but id wanted to do it so badly for all of those 3 weeks but id some how resisted and last night was a really bad night and i couldn't help myself and i did about 15 on my upper arms and now i feel good cos the urge is gone but bad cos i did it again and bad cos i still want to do it now. really had to tell someone thanks for listening

You should look at the fact that you managed 3 weeks a such a amazing thing i means you KNOW you can live 3 weeks without it it a step in the right direction and maybe next time it will be 3 weeks and a half maybe then 4 weeks and so on until you dont need to
Step one complete you managed 3 weeks a applaud you for doing it!
praise yourself!
now your cutting you wanna cut but you know you had three weeks no cutting it was ok at the time now you feel bad so try again see if you can manage 3 weeks again because Less cutting may not be the ultimate goal of stopping completely but its a step in the right direction

Hope this helps X

In addition to what Danielle has said think of it like this.
When you resisted you were happy and proud of yourself i am assuming.
Therefore when you feel you want to cut try and remember that if you dont you will feel a little bit better too :)

well no not really i spent all that time wanting to do it, and the voices in my head tellling me to do it, and i dont even know how i resisted for so long i was desperate.

Well, i have to say its great that you managed to resist for so long, How deep were the cuts may i ask?

[MadManWithaBox]

er razor cuts, on the left and right upper arms, ones the left aren't too bad, but the ones on the right are quite bad. i want to do it again, on my veins, to bleed. god im pathetic. i cant fight this. im weak.

Now you and i both know what you just said is a lie. Your not pathetic! and you can fight this! You did for 3 weeks! therefore your also strong! You can do it mate!
Keep it up, and stay strong
